kinda freaked out

metomeya

Ya so as we speak i'm on my new Dell Inspiron laptop typing this message.

I get a AOL IM from a user called inspiron### (real numbers in place of the #) He told me a had a Dell inspiron gaming laptop for sale. Asked if i was interested (wanted like 700-800) and wanted to the it threw paypal. After talking to the guy he told me he works for dell.

Is it pure coincadence that this guy from dell IMed me after i purchased mine? Do they have some kind of tracking method with their wireless? (I did a port scan and i have no leaks, and i kinda didn't have my firewall up.) I shutdown my laptop and he hasn't come back on AOL.

I thought it was a friend screwing with me, and i gave him a fake credit card number and called him names and crap. But i just can't think of any one i know that would screw with me like that. I don't know this wireless **** is kinda freaking me out I've never used it before

Coincidence. The ISM wireless band is nowhere near powerful enough to track you outside of about 200 feet.

Furthermore, he isn't from Dell. They don't use paypal.

More likely you might have spyware or some sort of trojan on your system. Post an HJT log for reivew if you want some help checking it out.

Sounds more like spyware, try running Hijack This and post your log.

Heres my log

Maybe i have a dell program made for customer support guys to look at my comptuer and maybe that gave him enough information to track me down. Thats all i can think of.
